Artist support

East Street Arts have been awarded £245,000 as part of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund (CRF).

Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN) invited three artist studio providers to chat about their experience of continuing to support creative workspaces during Covid-19.

New artworks and performances searching for intimacy in a time of social isolation.

NOW CLOSED! Open Call for FIVE co-commissions for CHASM a programme of Live artworks and performances searching for intimacy in a time of social isolation. 

We have a long history of working with artists who choose to make art in public places. From performances, take-overs, interventions to Street Art or Public Art.

During our lockdown as part of Covid-19 requirements we are constantly reviewing how we can continue to operate aspects of our activities and continue to support artists.

We spoke to Mike on completion of the artwork, who told us a little bit more about the project and how he found the process of creating the mural.
